Fish-tastic Friday

There is a dentist office that shares the lobby with my day care and they have this thing called a fish tank. Some days mommy and me go in and look at the fishies. There is a gray one and an orange one and a yellow one with stripes. I can watch them forever. It's so cool how they swim around and open and close their tiny mouths. Plus they can't lick me like Canela did - yuck! I especially love banging my hands against the glass to get the fishs' attention, but I can't do it too much because then mommy makes me leave. She has so many rules.

Wet and traumatized

It's taken me two days to write this post. I'm still somewhat traumatized by what happened. Sunday afternoon we went over to Mary and Victor's house. We've been there many times before, but this time was different. I walked in the door and their dog Canela was there. At first we just stared at each other. Then out of nowhere he started licking my face. I was paralyzed (that means frozen) in a combination of fear and icky-ness. Canella's tongue was wet, warm, sticky and smelly. And it was all over my face. EWWWWW!!! Mommy tells me it only lasted a few seconds but if felt a lot longer than that. It was the most gross thing ever. All I could think to do was cry.

Hanukkah dreaming

Guess what's coming up. Hanukkah. Seven glorious nights of tearing wrapping paper and playing with packaging. And then if something comes in the packaging, like things I can stick in my mouth, can you say BONUS! I can't wait, although I have to because it's still a week and a half away. We did go to a Hanukkah party today though where I got to bop to music, chase balloons, decorate a menorah and candle box and eat lots of play-doh. The latkes didn't do it for me, but the play-doh was yummy.

Be good to me Hanukkah Harry!

Left standing solo

A few of my older friends have moved up to the next classroom at daycare, so I'm left with a bunch of the younger kids. The babies are cute and all, but I miss my pals. Good thing there is a new boy my age named Charlie that recently started. He only comes once a week now, but he will be full time in January. I can't wait to have a new buddy. The one perk of being the oldest is the teachers let me do special things. Like yesterday they took me down to the basement to get more milk and then I got to climb back up the stairs. I'm getting really fast!

I love climbing up stairs. It would be so much
easier if my jacket sleeves were shorter.

Caffeine fix

It seems like everyone in the family loves coffee. They are always talking about getting their fix. Normally, I'm not allowed to have any, but when no one was looking today I snuck a sip. I don't see what the big fuss is about. It tasted yucky to me.

Sunday happenings

What a great day. It warmed up enough to go out to the park. I got to try this new slide. It's made up of rollers. I would say ahhh as I went down and it sounded really funny. I went down on my tummy, on my back, and even sideways so many times. So fun! I can't wait to go back. At the park I also practiced walking down stairs. Yup, you read that right, walking. As long as I hold on to a railing or someone's hand I can do it. Oh, and I discovered cream cheese today. At first I just kept putting my spoon in the little cup and licking it off. Then I figured it would be quicker to just use my hands. All the people sitting near us in the restaurant were laughing at me, but I didn't care. :)

Why hello, cream cheese.
Where have you been all
my life? 

Parental shopaholics

Mommy and daddy are shopaholics. Not only did they schlep me shopping most of the day on Black Friday, but we went AGAIN today. Maybe I wouldn't mind as much if they got something, anything for me. Instead, it was shoes and coats and jeans and tops all for them. I got nothing! I repeat, nothing. Here's hoping I make out better on Cyber Monday.

Stop the shopping insanity.
I'm tired and want to go home.

All I wanted to do today was relax
like I got to do on turkey day.
